CITY of Bulawayo Councillors have refused to sign the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) Integrity Pledges, insisting that a workshop be held first.

The event was scheduled for Monday in the Council Chamber at the City Hall Municipal Building.

The City of Bulawayo, Gwanda Municipality, and Plumtree Town Council, led by the Mayors/Chairpersons, Town Clerks/Town Secretaries, Councillors, and Heads of Departments, were all expected to sign the documents.

However, when the forms were handed to Bulawayo councillors, they declined to sign, demanding that a workshop be held beforehand.

This has left ZACC and Bulawayo City Management in a quandary.

The councillors have been called to the committee room to deliberate further on the matter, while their counterparts from Gwanda and Plumtree remained behind to sign.
